I've heard good things about those bells I really wanna pick one up myself.

Most recent purchase was a new set of Panaracer Pasela tires for the GF's bike. Looks a lot better now.

Tarmac SL Pro. Should get here by this weekend. I'm pumped.

It's also a 54, down from my 56 Allez.

EDIT: Just bought an S-works carbon crank and BB30 bearings to go with it.

Oh boy am I pumped.

Just ordered a Lynskey R240. It's going to be a long few weeks.

Sold all my Rapha gear and invested into MAAP apparel. This brand is top notch. Chamois is amazing (VERY similar to Rapha, but a little thicker), quality and fit is superb. I'll be ordering 3 more kits, jacket and a couple vests. Their socks are pretty rad also!

I just installed a Verve Infocrank on my CX bike (yeah, I know...) Stupid easy and everything was included *including* an O-Synce head unit.

Been under the weather so haven't had a chance to ride em yet.

My main road bike is BSA too, so moving it for spring/summer will be as easy as it was to install on the CX bike.

Re the O-Synce head unit: sorta like a combo 500/510. I'm pretty sure there's no touch screen, but the buttons are big. The nicest thing about it is is that you can configure all your data screens on your PC (no mac). Their training plan software isn't the easiest to use. I'll keep fiddling with it. The software *does* have a weather-compensating algorithm in it. We'll see how that works this winter.

So cool!

Er...bianchi-pal, I am sorry, I got to ask....did you nail your wall for the special occasion?

This might be your next non-cycling-related purchase.

Haha I actually lucked out! To took my large mirror down and it happened to have 2 screws in perfect position. We had a different more narrow mirror prior which was the one that held up my bibs. Admittedly, I did use to thread needles for the socks but that was so small it didn't do much. the great part is after I out out large mirror back up, nobody woukd ever know anyway. It might be my standard location to take pictures, until my wife take it down and the wall looks like swiss cheese! Hahaha

That's a sign from heaven that you made the right choice in switching from Rapha to MAAP!

Lol exactly! I like this so much better! The chamois is nicer IMO and in a better position too.

You do realize that the prices they have on their site are Australian currency right? After the conversion to USD its $299 for jersey and bib shorts. Anything over $300 AUS currency gets you free shipping to the states.

That makes so much more sense, wow. I guess reading is key.
